So I stayed at hers while she walked down to the other one. She immediately saw some fine crystal and milk glass and bought it real cheap. She brought it to hers, went in the house and cleaned them up and put prices on them that were way over what she paid.

Well I have been getting treatment for what they called a dry socket after my tooth removal. Today I went for a recheck and apparently it was never a dry socket but severe osteoarthritis of the jaw joint. I hope it is not actually diagnosed as TMJ since hardly any insurance pays for any treatment of that. So I am on a very soft diet for two weeks and big doses of Ibuprofen. Eve a very soft chocolate chip cookie hurts to chew. So I don't know what kind of food I am going to eat. I ate a banana for lunch and grimaced the whole way through.
